Dogs are clearly social creatures and there is no doubt that dogs learn from each other. Dog to dog communication can be fascinating amongst well-socialized dogs, especially in a multiple dog household. As good dog owners, we should sometimes look to these socialized dogs and take cues from them when welcoming a new dog into the household.

When we (humans) bring a new dog or puppy into the house we immediately give him/her tons of attention, we can’t keep our hands off of the dog, we allow them on the couch and bed, and it’s all about the dog! This is to expected as the novelty of a new dog can be very exciting. On the other hand, a well-socialized dog will greet the new dog and immediately start to establish boundaries, correct inappropriate behaviors, teach manners, and will set the tone of the relationship from the start.
